Mallikarjun Kharge hits out at PM Modi over Women’s Reservation Bill defeat

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday claimed it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who “killed” the Constitution Amendment Bill to implement women’s quota in legislatures from 2029. Taking a jibe at the PM for campaigning extensively across West Bengal for the Assembly polls, he asked whether Modi wished to become the chief minister of the state. On Modi accusing the Congress and other opposition parties of committing “foeticide” after the bill to implement 33 per cent women’s reservation in legislatures in 2029 derailed in the Lok Sabha, Kharge said, “It is you [Modi] who killed the women’s reservation bill; we fought against the Delimitation Bill and not against the bill on women’s quota.” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
